complete and thorough 2-pass quality audio-boost... for those who prefer the 'perfect solution' and/or have time on their side.
isn't possible to do a two pass with command line encoder like neroaac /ogg/lame....

And I suppose there's a good reason why the BeSweet audio encoder by DSPguru couldn't be included as an option... ???

My Com Sci Proffessor would often say that 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'... and the 2-pass encoder by BeSweet smacks of pure sunshine...

[weaver4]

there are two way of changing the profiles !

first, open the file into \profiles\x264-profiles\zxcvb.xml and edit it with notepad
second (and recommed) on advanced profiles editing modify the profile AND (after editing) check USE this Profile

in this way automkv will use this EDITED profile

about coding tech is better to use Nero (support 5.1ch!)

mini how-to
load the input file
select audio/container/codec/resize/width....
change the profile to crf
answer Go Unlimited
on advanced profile editing change bitratequantitizer from 18 to 20
check use this profile
click start

BHH

So what exacly does the CRF field do on the Advanced Settings Tab if it does not change the crf value of the encode? It seems to me that if I go over and put 20 into that field and then come back to the main tab and press encode it should encode with a crf of 20.

[buzzqw]

@weaver4

are you reffering to "Use CRF for Autoresize Routines" ?
if so this value is used only when doing autoresize, and usually with CRF profile the autoresize isn't needed

the exact what of editing the crf value was already exposed

BHH

EDIT: @delacroixp
besweet doens't work with avisynth, doesn't work with any file where is needed directshow , are you able to extract audio from an mkv with besweet ?

[nx6]

It sounds like AutoMKV should be reading it's default settings from an ini file (or the registry) instead of having defaults in the application code itself. This would then cause everyone to have a default profile, and give you a place to save settings.

I like this idea of having a default profile as well, as a file in the AutoMKV folder. I rather not have the program use the registry for a variety of reasons.

Yeah, that is what I was talking about. Now I got it.

[weaver4]

I am having a strange problem. My computer says I am out of resources whenever the avs file starts processing. The log file shows over and over again this entry as it trys to start wsscript It eventually runs out of system resouces and crashes my computer.

This appears to be related to the fix you did for 0.78b

BHH
Do you mean you want a command line for ffmpeg for audio-only encoding with AVS input? I think I have the answer for that. Of course the ffmpeg build must have the avisynth option activated but most recent builds have that.

1. Define an AVS file with both video and audio in it. (ffmpeg will crash if you feed it an AVS with only audio in it.)

2. Here is an example command line that works -- tested on ffmpeg builds 7760 and 8047:
"C:\ffmpeg.exe" -i "C:\audio+video.avs" -vn -acodec mp3 -ab 128 -ac 2 -mbd 2 -async 1 -y "C:\audioOut.mp3"
It appears ffmpeg will process only the audio, but it will crash unless it can analyze both video and audio in the AVS file.

Edit after further testing:
You can synthesize the video for the video+audio AVS as follows:
# Source the audio clip as appropriate (this is just an example):
audio=directShowSource("inputFile",video = false);
# Following code synthesizes a blank video to match the audio so
# ffmpeg will not crash:
dur=audioLength(audio) / audioRate(audio)
video=blankClip(dur*20,320,240, "YUY2",20)
audioDub(video,audio)
This will work if inputFile is a video (with audio of course) or just an audio file, as long as it can be sourced in AVS.

So when we are using CRF we don't have to define a resize?

Whenever I chose the CRF profile, the width would change to 720, so I was resetting it to AUTO or the actual width if I knew it offhand.

@schizosmurf
not only could be {} but also: are you able to play the file with mediaplayer classic / virtualdub ?

BHH

renamed the source file to just Bleach19.avi and still same result. also plays fine in mpc and virtualdub(with which it was originally encoded to xvid)

i think i've figured out the problem or part of it. didnt really read this the first few times but when i open up automkv, Vista gives the error "COM surrogate has stopped working." Heres the details of the error.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

so i would be led to believe that there is some incompatibility between ffvfw.dll and Vista, right? any ideas/thoughts?

EDIT: uninstalled ffdshow, and the windows error stopped occuring upon opening automkv, but still getting the exact same behavior when i try to encode. so i guess that had nothing to do with it

[BleedingGums]

Is there a way to manually assign an audio delay without resorting to avs scripts? if not, it would me neat if there was.

[buzzqw]

@nx6
ADDED: In nex update if a file named "noneroAacEnc.here" is present in \exe\besweet folder , AutoMKV will not ask to download

@weaver4
this audio have some problem, on next update will be no more loop and "should be encoded ok"

@dlflannery
no, sorry, i have mispelled something
i wnat to invoke the mkvmaudio.avs (with soundout plugin) with ffmpeg.exe like "ffmpeg.exe mkvmaudio.avs". I don't want to use ffmpeg for audio but soundout
a big thanks anyway for your support !!!!

@nx6
as i wrote "usually" isn't needed.
a crf encoding is aimed , again usually, to a unknow file size, so the autoresize is a little non-sense. Autoresize has a reason to be used in conjuction with CRF AND Hit media Size

@schizosmurf
automkv on start don't load any dll... (and i haven't installed vista)... trying to upgrade ffdshow ?? or running automkv in winxp compatibility mode ?

[buzzqw]

i use delaycut to "fix" the delay, so to fix the delay you must change the filename to moviexxx 420ms.ac3 .... into moviexxx 820ms.ac3
isn't as megui that use the delay function of mkvmerge when muxing

BHH

[delacroixp]

EDIT: @delacroixp
besweet doens't work with avisynth, doesn't work with any file where is needed directshow , are you able to extract audio from an mkv with besweet ?
I think my first movie was with MeGUI where I encoded the sound with BeSweet and then muxed it with MkvToolnix(ver 2.0.2) MkvMerge GUI.

I've been encoding 'Band of Brothers' with video-only... hoping to generate the soundtrack with BeSweet in VBR (Streaming quality) and then mux them together...
Encoding with video-only (using ConstantQuality-CRF) has allowed me to better guage filesize and the Quantizer required to fit everything (including extras) onto 1 4.5 GB DVD. I've downsized the resolution by 50% and I'm still hoping to downmix some of the extras into MONO... it's getting a bit tight...
With a quantizer of 24 and comparable VBR-audio... the quality is far from perfect but still pretty incredible...

Perhaps the right way may well be to drop the resolution to 640x368 (instead of 720x400) and use a 20 quantizer... I like the idea of 1 Disc fits all... though I'm also working on a 2 disc, full resolution (1024x576) version. The complete series is over 10 hours and 34GB... so I guess "H264 is a serious over-achiever".

I've got a few hrs of encoding on the run... so I'll have to check later...
OK... so what you're saying is "BeSweet audio boost, etc is all good... but you can't automate the process into a single job".

I encoded a movie with the new build 0.78c and the audio volume is quite low...how come? Is there sth I can do to fix it?
I encoded audio with Nero AAC at a constant bitrate of 160kbps stero...

EDIT:

I played the .ac3 file in the temp folder and the volume is normal...probably sth wrong with the downmixing? dont' know...

[buzzqw]

@vgiozo
have you update first to 0.78a and then to 0.78c?

the 0.78a fixes problem with "normalize" fuction (volume boost)

@delacroixp
maybe my english isn't enough, with besweet is impossible to catch audio from files avi/ogm/mkv/mp4
the two only way to grab audio from those file are
1) demux audio: to worry and dangerous, even more tools will be needed
2) processing with directshowsource and feed varius encoder with this audio

if you are able to use besweet with avs (without using fake avi), tell me

Maybe your English isn't so gr8... but I'm seriously clueless about scripts, ogm, etc and while I know demuxing avi is off-the-cards... probably 90% of the people out there are encoding movies from VOB's which have notoriously poor volume and could benefit from something like BeSweet's audio boost.

Dr DivX 2 OSS uses a system of sampling to gauge the necessary audio boost and then implement the change... also good but not quite perfect.

@vgiozo
got the strange case... aacgain.exe is fuctional with quality encoding (-q ) but isn't fuctional with -CBR...
strange...
i will search for a solution!

EDIT better answer: is unable to normalize HE_AAC/SBR files

BHH

[vgiozo]

Ok, Thanks for the info...
So if I encode the movie and use quality mode in audio processing, the volume will be normal?
I'll try and report back...

I had encoded another movie which had ac3 6ch audio with 0.78a and the same thing had happened, but did not notice low volume with movies that had ac3 2ch...that's why I thought of sth going "wrong" with the downmixing procedure, but I cannot support this guess...

I 'll reencode and report back...thanks for the great support...

[weaver4]

The problems that I was having with being unable to encode audio and the looping problem seem to be related to an old version of avisynth on my computer. I updated it and it started working. Apperantly 0.76 would work with the version avisynth I had and 0.78 wouldn't.

Sorry....my bad.

[Konstantin_by]

Hello

I tryed to encode with Automkv 0.78c: profile x264 HQ-slowest, mp4, couding tech acc 64 kbits, 704 width resolution. ON version 0.72 all works great. But on 0.78c video doesn't want to encode.
Maybe all that happen becouse use of AviSynth 2.5?

Sorry for my English.

[RipcordAFF]

Hey the program has been runnning fantastic and I loved it under XP but now I am running vista and I have problems. It does the Indexing fine I think, but any step where it opens the cmd window (testing interlace pattern, lets encode etc) It just flashes the cmd, closes it immediatly and moves to the next step. So it never does any actual encoding... any ideas? Thanks!

BTW Ive also tried running it under compatibility mode, still does same thing

[delacroixp]

@delacroixp
feel free to use whatever program you want :rolleyes:


Ta and :thanks: for all the fish.

What kind of audio boost does AutoMKV use ?

I'm not averse to a little hands-on and H264 is the forefront of modern movie encoding... so I'm sure you know what's best for the community at large, given the limitations of software.

:) :D :eek:

[buzzqw]

@weaver4

i no more use bepipe but soundout (link in AutoMKV changelog!)

i will update the dependices to AviSynth 2.57!
Thanks!

@Konstantin_by

@RipcordAFF
Bautodeint.exe NEED a yv12 decoder installed
Install the Koepi XviD Build (link on first post)

@delacroixp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replay_Gain
is a very good Normalizer

@ALL
In next update (full package) i will include ffmpeg.exe for invoking SoundOut fuction. From my test seems more stable and faster then xvid/x264 when calling SoundOut.
I tested even VirtualDub , that's proven even more stable, but is a little slower.
Also using ffmpeg i can force the encoding directly with ffmpeg (in mp3) when both nicaudio / directshowsource / SoundOut fail

BHH[/QUOTE]

yea, that dll was bein loaded when vista tries to render the video for creating thumbnails in explorer. had nothing to do with the workings of AMKV. i tried reencoding the file with vitrual dub to a smaller size xvid .avi and there was a warnign when i loaded the source file

AVI: Opening file "C:\Users\schizosmurf\Videos\Bleach\Bleach19.avi"

[!] AVI: Stream 0 (video) has a non-zero start position of 3 samples (+125
ms). VirtualDub does not currently support a non-zero start time and the
stream will be interpreted as starting from zero.

so maybe the non-zero starting point is the problem and explains why the AMKV error log showed

10:19:20 Number of Frames:
10:19:20 Framerate:
10:19:20 Movie lenght in Seconds: 0
10:19:20 Movie Width:
10:19:20 Movie Height:
10:19:20 !!! BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED !!!

0 frames 0 framerate movie length of 0 width/height of zero, obviously these are all incorrect stats for the source file...

also is ffdshow even needed?

if virtualdub open this file then something good could be done!

after opening (in virtualdub) in "video" select direct stream copy and the same for audio, then go to file and save it with a new name

your problem should be fixed

just tried that and same result, seems vdub copied the "non-zero starting point" into the new file. i even tried cutting out the first ~1s hoping it would then create a new starting point in teh new file, but it stills keeps the "non-zero starting point"

[nx6]

I encoded audio with Nero AAC at a constant bitrate of 160kbps
Which setting is that? I still haven't deciphered the steps on the 0-1 quality scale that's used in the settings.

Sounds awesome... does the entire encode need to be in grayscale to truly benefit ?
I'm keen to encode 'The World at War' and 'The Cold War' series both of which are over 20 hrs long and 'mostly' in B&W... but not completely.
Since you were interested, I'm trying the full colorspace vs. greyscale colorspace encode comparison right now. I have the "full color" one done, but the grayscale one is not encoding. I'll have to do it again and pay more attention, post logs, etc before I see if this is going to work.

Does anyone know of a video player for WindowsXP that is more efficient at playing X264 video than VLC media player.

I was having an issue with video freezing up for several seconds at a time or occasionally having high action portions of the screen scrambled, but audio plays normally through during this brief interruption. After looking at my system monitor during these times, I have come to the horrible realization my CPU is not powerful enough to play back some parts of the files I am creating! But another computer in the house (not mine) is able to play them back.

Would my graphics card have any effect on playback performance? I have a very low end graphics card and would be willing to replace it if it would fix this issue.

The AI (artificial intelligence) of AutoMKV is just way out of control... I feel like I'm reliving 2001: A Space Odyssey... I had to re-encode ½ my initial encodes of BoB because AutoMKV insisted on resizing downto 700x400 instead of 720x400... and 1 of the re-encodes was also faulty.
This occurs during batch aswell as individually. Anyway I finished the series... all muxed, burnt and ready to go at Q24.

Since then I've tried full resolution (1024x576)... but AutoMKV insists on 720x576... this happens whether I choose Original, Auto-crop Only or set the resolution Manually.

I should add that it's happened with 0.78 & 0.78c.

Sorry to trouble you on a Sunday.

Well it looks like it got past the audio coding part (finally). I thought you would want to see the log file for the audio part since it looks like it had lots of problems.

I really do not remember these problems in 0.76, or was I just lucky?

Boy am I am having problems with audio. I tired to do aac audio last night and it just looped and kept tying to do it all night.

Today I tried a mp3 encode and the whole process stopped to ask me if it was OK to clip the audio [y/n].

weaver4... trust me... you're the only one who's doing the really interesting stuff around here.

Since then I've tried full resolution (1024x576)... but AutoMKV insists on 720x576... this happens whether I choose Original, Auto-crop Only or set the resolution Manually.

i will check (even i don't know what...)... but remember :logfile:

@buzzqw
It looks like there may be room for an improved Batch Interface... I've included an image (from Dr DivX OSS) which would move the 'start encoding button' to the Batch page... allow you to move your encodes up/down the queue... add plugins.... and portray a graphic display of the progress of your encode (See pic... pending approval).


:) :D :eek:
Pascal

The Image is up (see original post)... a new batch layout would go a long way towards mass-production.

[weaver4]

I agree with delacroixp. The interface for Dr.Divx is absolutely great. Too bad the Doctor is:

> Crash Prone
> Only does DivX

[dlflannery]

I tested MKV/X264 and MP4/X264 encodings. BTW I used ffmpeg build 8047 (and the .dll it needs).

Two kinds of (spliced clip) AVS input files:
1. Separate audio-only and video-only files.
2. One video+audio file loaded for both video source and audio track one source.

For the MKV container I had to force 4:3 aspect ratio (but this is not a problem -- rather a feature!)

I tried one with Delay Cut. I suspect that doesn't make any difference for AVS inputs, correct ?

All cases went smoothly with good results.

One feature request: Please add ".avs" to the list of file types in the audio track file browsers.

This looks good! :thanks:

[buzzqw]

@delacroixp

i am very happy. :rolleyes:

17:11:44 Movie Width: 720
17:11:44 Movie Height: 576
could you guess this value from what is taken ?

DGINDEX! this value are the true value inside the mpeg file!
if your player took the dar and display 1080i or whatever blame your player! :mad:
or, if you are absolutly sure about width/height post a bug on DgIndex/dvd2avi forum


@dlflannery
first of all :thanks: !
I tried one with Delay Cut. I suspect that doesn't make any difference for AVS inputs, correct ?
absolutly right, delaycut cannot "fix" an AVS... :)

about request: DONE!

iirc the Ati X1 series (like X1300, X1600 ...)
i am not a gamer too... i have an old ATI AIW 9700PRO

I have a ati 9550 passive cooled, no problems with it, rock solid.

Thanks, both of you.

I've done some checking around and have found the lists of cards that support accelerated video decoding for ATI and NVidia. I'll post them here since someone else might find them worthwhile here.

Cards supporting ATI Avivo. (http://ati.amd.com/technology/avivo/products.html)
Cards supporting NVidia Pure Video. (http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html)

I'm going to grab a GeForce 6600GT off eBay here in the next week. I don't want too spend much on this machine as I'd sorta like to replace it in the future and I don't have a PCI Express motherboard. I hope the fan's not too loud.

mediaplayer classic+ffdshow+haali media splitter worked a little better. CPU usage appeared to be about the same but mediaplayer coped by dropping individual frames in the high action areas instead of freezing up completely until the scene passed like VLC. I haven't had a chance to install Zoom Player.

how to see the output video if i need to crop or not?
THX A LOT

@schizosmurf
If virtualdub don't complain , use this file as input for automkv


same results. it seems whatever is opening the cmd window immediatly after clicking start encoding is not providing the correct info for the file since the log shows

18:03:22 Movie lenght in Seconds: 0
18:03:22 Movie Width:

18:03:22 !!! BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED !!!

i noticed its using my 64bit version of the cmd.exe instead of the 32bit version, perhpas thats why it doesnt process whatever commands properly?
instead of runnin thru C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
it goes thru C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe

[salman1]

what is this errror?
